Why did the salamander cross the road?

April 4, 2019

To get to the vernal pool! Incidentally, if this fellow’s yellow spots were intended to be protective coloration, it wasn’t very effective despite his proximity to a patch of yellow ground, since that ground happened to be the center line of Silver Hill Road.

Another sure sign of spring can be heard rather than seen. These invisible creatures were recorded by Heather Silvestro near Flint Field (click here to play).
